Just transfer this image to the 808, put the brightness down to the minimum, and then put your finger on the ambient light sensor (located near front camera). Open the image and if you see any (and I mean ANY) hint of the color PURPLE, then that set has a problem, ask for another set.

There’s no ‘tool’ or way to check except with your naked eyes. India hasn’t seen reports of units with any tint. A couple of cases is the max. I’ve seen or heard.

I have seen 3 N8′s in India, including mine… And the purple tint problem was NOT in them at all…

I also had the purple tint issue with my Nokia 808. Posted it on the Nokia Conversations website under the screen name “sabbyj” (you can check). Got a call from Nokia India, they asked me to take my phone to the nearest Nokia Care so they could have a look at it. I took it there, and they acknowledged the issue and replace it with a new one right away (Nokia India representative had sent that piece for me after I described her my issue on the call). Now I have an 808 without the purple tint issue . If any of you have it, I recommend that you take it to your nearest Nokia Care Center. Though I wouldn’t advice you to expect a replacement right away like I did. Because my replacement set was already there at the Nokia Care Center. Yours might take some time. But it will come. Cheers.
